Apply in person to Ms. Leslie Max McKenzie writes articles about "weird jobs", and occasionally takes one so he'll know more about it. Jeannie Leslie is a career consultant.

She doesn't want to discuss it, though when she meets him, she knows he's the man she's been dreaming about--the man she wanted for her widowed sister; hence the ad. Jeannie wants no part of marriage or long-term commitments and is astounded when Max ask her to marry him, not because they're in love or anything, but because his brother claims that whenever he brings a woman home, she forgets him the minute she sees Max. She refuses, of course, but fate conspires to put them together... The two of them are trapped in a long abandoned coal-mine. During their accidental incarceration, while they struggle to rescue themselves, Max and Jeannie fall genuinely in love and she admits that if she were ever to marry anyone, it would be him. It's easy to make that promise because they both expect to die in the cavern, but then they are rescued and Max wants to hold her to that promise... Now what's a dyed-in-the-wool, anti-marriage woman supposed to do? |

REVIEWS: "...If
you believe in love and that there is someone for everyone, then
Dream Man will definitely reaffirm your beliefs." "...Gill
has outdone herself in her new book 'Dream Man.' This story is
not just one of romance, but adds many different twists out of
the norm before the two special people are finally allotted their
happiness..." "...a
romance worth reading again and again..." "DREAM
MAN has withstood the test of time and still remains a tightly
woven, emotional read..." |

Excerpt: Jeanie stood staring at the door for several minutes, then sank back down onto the couch, lifting her hands to tame the wild hair he had set free. Again, she heard the faint tinkle of gold bangles and looked sideways at her arm. It was bare but for the shoved-up sleeve of her sweatshirt. She had removed the bracelets earlier when she changed, yet she distinctly recalled hearing them jangle at the moment she'd responded to Max's kiss. "All right, Grandma Margaret," she said. "What in the heck are you up to? Just go away. Leave me alone. Keep out of my love life!" With that, she went to bed. Love life? The words snapped back into her mind as she was about to slide into sleep and shocked her wide awake. Now, wait a minute! She didn't have a love life, dammit! She didn't know who she was telling, her long-departed ancestor or herself, but it didn't matter. Thinking about it kept her from having nightmares about men in dark parking garages --and dreams about blue-eyed heroes with magic kisses. She awoke feeling more energetic than she had in many months, and much more eager to face the day. |

Author BIO: Judy Gill is a compulsive writer who confesses to having once strode through a campground in Germany begging sheets of writing paper from perfect strangers in her imperfect German. All this because she'd left her typewriter at home {this was a VACATION as her husband insisted}, and when the writing bug bit she was forced to use every scrap of paper in her trailer, including both sides of brown paper grocery bags before going on the prowl for more paper. The resulting book was the only one she ever did in longhand--and was the first draft of POCKETS FULL OF JOY, her first re-release from Awe-Struck. To her great joy, she now does her "camping" aboard a 30' boat, and has a laptop computer for when the bug bites, which seems to be daily. |
